French Sailors Tell : Story of “Dog Island” - An “Isle of Dogs” on the west of Madagascar Is a discovery made by a French sailing boat gnd reported by the Frankfurter Zeitung. The captain of this boat put ashore on the small island of Juan de Neve in -the belief that he had caught sight of a wreck close by. But the fsland was uninhabited save for a large white dog resembling a terriér, which was shortly Jjoined on the beach by four more of the kind. After having surveved the newcomers inquiringly, the dogs set up a long-drawn howl, which appeared to be a signal for 20 more to join them. Their appearance mnot proving very friendly, apart from the weirdness of the many ecanine races that appeared to have been crossed, the sailormen put off again, noting that the first white terrier, which appeared to be the leader of the pack, watched them out to sea long after the others had disappeared again among the undergrowth. The island resounded with howls, not barks. Though the skeptical may be inclined to relegate the tale to the fairy realms that seamen love,. one remembers the strange attack by Thames swans mentioned in “Three Men in a Boat.” There is'evidence for its authenticity.—Pierre Van Paassen, in the Atlanta Constitution. -

Raven Led Voyagers -~ tolceland’s Shores . Though Iceland now belongs to Denmark, it°was discovered by the MacDougalls of Argyllshire, ancestors of the family which now*resides at Dunollié castle, and *whose eldest daughter is known by the picturesque name of the “Maid of Lorn.” In early days the MacDougalls were sea rovers, and when on their adventurous voyages they always had with them sgveral ravens—their mascot bird, Sailing along the sea northward on a voyage of discovéry, a MacDougall chief let loose g raven, hoping it would show where land-lay, but the bird returned in the direction whence they had come. e

Continuing their voyage, anothér raven was released, and after circling around overhead, it came back to the ship. Knowing the raven’s unerring ‘instinet for making for ~land, they knew there was none near. i

On they sailed, and then let’ loose another bird, which set off in the direction they were sailing. lollowing it, these intrepid voyagers of the western isles reached the unknown land of Teeland. el

Newton Admired Crimson

- Search in the records. of Somdrset House has disclosed the complete inventory of the furniture and plenishing of Sir. Isaac Newton's house in St. Martin’s in the Fields in 1727. The document ‘took the inconvenient form of about fiftecen feet of strips of vellum, Sir Isaac’s favorite color for hangings was crimson. Ile had it in most of his rooms, the material being mohair backed with canvasd His taste in furniture ran towards walnut. He held a large private library for that period, and it must have taken up much space, for more than half of the 1,806 books were folios or quartos. ‘ :

Lost Art

That oral reading is rapidly becoming a lost art has been recognized. Robert, age three, was sitting on the floor reading his new story book in a manner entirely, satisfactory to himself. His mother, who had a few minutes to spare, said, “Bring (he book to- mother and shell read the story to you.” | ' * “I am almost through with the story —then you can have the book if you want to read it. I ean read something else while you read this,” replied the child. e

Delayed Rising

~ ‘Once upon a time a young married woman undertook to make a batch of bread and the dough failed to rise; A place where she thought hubby would not find it was chosen for its grave and a flat stone was placed thereon. One day as hubby was strolling along that way he saw something that tickled him immen‘selfiu He went to the house and said to his wife: “You had better go out and bury your corpse again; I see it's raised.” The sun had shone on the stone and the dough becoming warm had raised.

Clever Dog

~ “Well, you have the house all to yourself -while Mrs. Peckton lis away.” Goniai e - “Not quite,” said Mr. Peckton. “I share the .premises with Mrs. Peckton’s poodle, who was left in my care. I'm afraid the intelligent animal has ‘modéle¥ its behavior on that of its ‘mistress.” ' g “How s 0?” : “When I try to make myself com‘fortable with a cigar and a newspa;per it eyes me with marked disfavor.”

No Explanation of . Telepathy in Jungle

“Telepathy as practiced in West Africa attains redches of slieer wurvel that defy explaning. The most straightforward and coiimon telepuihy in the jungles has been witnessed by nearly every white truveler who has gone among the hidden towns where Africa’s identity still survives: namely, the uncanny prewarning of a visitor’s approach relayed invisibly from one witeh doctor to an:tler.” \

This is the story brouszint back from the Dark continent by Jola W. Vandercook, writer and ‘ex;!orcr, who has made a careful study of Ilegro life in Africa, Haitl and So:1tli Aneriea.

- “Sometimes code (. beuls convey news,” he points out in Harper's., “On rare occasions, special messengers. Incontestably, however, many natives can deliberately co'n\'oy»hy mental projection the most elaborate and minute details of an event of importance or of a person for whose arrival preparations are to be made. A witch doctor ‘sends’ and another witch man five or thirty or a hundred miles; away ‘receives,” perhaps to send farther on. Explorers, and especiaily leaders of punitive expeditions huve had innumerable proofs of this power.. An African village is rarelv surprised, The magicians admittl thie gift, see nothing extragrdinary fn it and. what is most intri'gu'fin‘g, say it can be taught to any inteli®zent pupil . . .

but never, of course, to a white man.”

Liners All Equipped for Church Services Aboard the great ocean liners ¢hurch altars are considered au indispensable detail of the equipment. A generation ago religious services at -sea were heid irregularly, depending on the chance presence of a clergyman. Now transatlantic liners held Roman Catholic and Protestant services at sea on Sunday. ' - :

Jassengers from all cabins meet at thea,chux*ch services. Invitations to the service are commonly posted throughout -the ship every Sunday morning. The priest or cléergyman officiating is usually assisted by ship stewards acting as sacristans. One large line that operates many steamers in the transatlantic service has a Roman Catholic altar on board each vessel. The linen used on the altars is prepared by Sisters of Charity in the ports of call on either side of the Atlantic. The altar clothis used in the Church of England services are cared for by churches in New York and in the European ports of call. . - Where Moses Got Them Archeologists think they ha\fé found Mount Sinai and the place| where Moses got the tablets on which were graven the Ten Commandments, A narrow canyon two miles long leads into an open space a mile across, entirely surrounded by sheer cliffs and precipitous slopes of the mountain top. Here they have ‘found the ruins of a tny hidden city built after Moses’ time and known as Petra. Some of its one-piece buildings, carved out of solid sandstene still remain. One called the ‘“l'reasury of Pharaoh,” built several centuries before® Christ, stands out in deep relief, its pillars and su-per-structures intact. Petra is beliéved to have begun about 600 B. C. Moses was there firsf. — Capper’s "Weekly. - e

Electric Safeguard

A fuse is a device derigned-to safeguard a wiring system and the lamps and appliances attached. to it against an excessive amount of current. Its essential feature is a link of metal which melts at a comparatively low dégree of heat. When excessive current passes through a wire, it becomes hot. The fuse as well as the wire is a part of the circuit and earries the current. If more current than tlie circuit .is designed to transmit attempts to pass the fuse, the metal link Is heated and melts, thus breaking the circuit and stopping the flow of current, e b

~ EOOSEYELT FAVORS CHANGE | On Record As Backing Plan For Dry Law Mediiication is Boosted By © Smith in His Addresses ,_ NEW YORK. Oct. 19--Colonel Thewlore Roosevelt, who is now campaigning for Secretary Hoover in the middlewes! is on record as favoring thie changes in the prohibition laws that are proposed by Governor Smith. In a speech hefore the Burean of Advertising of the American Newspaper Publishers’ association on | Friday April 23 1926 in New ' York -~ City Colondgl Roesevelt urged modification of the Volstead act %0 that the states might by referndum determine the alcoholic content of beverages. : éuo;ed'hy the accurate and nonpartisan pAssociated Press Colonel Roosevelt declared that the Volstead Act -“has brought abput law violation on a more commercial ‘and gigantic scale than our country has ever known before.”™ : . : A Continuing its quotations from the Colonel's speech t..- Associated Press report follows: : , : ¢ 1 am, coninced that the repeal or modification ¢/ the Volstead act does not predicate ilie return of the saloon. That can be prevenied by enactment. «Were I a menber of the federal

congress, T would vote for the modidication or repeal of the Volstead act and the substitution therefore of some enactment permitting the increase of alcoholic content to such a point as the constitution - might permit. The limitation would be left to the states individualiy. I believe this to be absolutely necessary in order to check the murder corruption and other evils that have followed in the.train of this law. 1 want no misunderstanding about_-this however, Public officials should endeavor and genuinely endeavor to enforce ilie law. . “Mp. oosevelt said that if he were in public office he would make every effort to enforce thep’ resent law hecause it-is the duty of every’ public official regardless of what his persenal opinion' may be. ‘There: will he a necessary increase in officials aua machinery if this law is to be enforce ed” he said. “Those who.advocate the Volstead law must face this fact and be prepared to stand their share of th: burden. It is no excuse te say that I do not like the law and do not helieve in it. *lf it is a law it must b enforced. There is but one sound way to act when one disapproves of a law and that is to remove or ?ep'eal it 7 > ~ Large Turnip. - Mrs. Reed Fisel has sent to the Banner office a tu'rn'ip weighing six pounds.
